Jim,

I switched to the Aristo VC head last spring and can't sing its 
praises loudly enough.  Printing times for difficult negatives, .i.e. 
those with especially dense areas, fell to about 30% of what they 
had been with my previous setup - a ten year old Zone VI head with 
CC green and blue filters under the lens.  The time savings alone 
made the change worthwhile.

Also, I found the Aristo people responsive and helpful when I 
posted some pre-purchase questions through their web page -
